Plenty of reason to celebrate!! Two 30th birthdays, two 60th birthdays and a 35 year wedding anniversary!! Daughters, and twins, Rebecca and Rachel together with brother Joe, organised a surprise party for their parents Jimmy and Jackie whilst also celebrating their own 30th birthdays. For this special celebration I supplied:
external flood lighting
candles for the entrance
black sparkling LED dance floor
moodlighting
party DJ
Jackie and Jimmy thought they were being taken out for a meal and the element of surprise was maintained to the end when they stepped into the venue and 150 guests burst out out to welcome them.
